I am a Mechanical engineer working in an Automotive industry world recognized MNC
Here is my experience with TVS Flame. If you are looking for a two wheeler then Never ever go for any TVS products. Its my worst experience with Flame. I am really fedup with the performance of this bloody product from TVS. I have been to service station about 26 times in just 6 Months.
I have purchased this bike on 15.02.08 from Prakruthi motors at Jalahalli cross, Bangalore. I have been attracted by the ads about CCVTi engine. and its great features. but all are bullshits. Till now TVS showroom people are not able to address one single problem that a customer is facing. I use to curse TVS people every morning and evening during the startup of my bike. It has got following problems:-
Starting is very very difficult during morning and evening(When engine is in cold condition). Digital clock behaves crazy always.
IMI is simply a gimmick created by TVS.
Mileage is between 40-45Kmpl Max.
Vibration is high at 70-80Km speed.
Availability of spares is very bad.
If TVS people are really keen about the customer please give me call to this number.
